Solavei (which uses T-Mobile’s network) is selling the Z10 unlocked, for the astonishing price of $999. Of course, the Z10 is Solavei’s most expensive smartphone, as it costs more than devices like the Windows Phone 8-based Samsung Ativ S ($605), or the Samsung Galaxy S III ($575). If the price isn’t an impediment, you can order the handset here.
Solavei is offering unlimited data, voice and SMS for just $49 per month (no contract required).
